SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,190, dated May 6,1884.

I Application filed January 12, 1584. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I,WEENEE FIOHIENBERG, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of New York city, in the county of New York and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neck-WearTips, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a tip for neck-wear which isso'constructed as to insure lightness and strength at the same time.

Referring to the drawings, Figure I is a plan View of my invention. Fig.II is a sectional View on line a; m, Fig. I. Fig. III is a sectionalview on line I; Fig. I. Fig. IV is another plan view, showing the tipout out in the center to increase lightness.

A represents the tip, made of metal and-of the shape shown in' Fig. I.

The sides 12 b and ends cc of the edge of tip A are curled or bent overfor the purpose of giving strength to the metal of the tip, so thatlight metal can be used to make the tip of, and whereby the tip can bemade of light metal and have the same stiffness or strength that itwould have if made of heavy metal. Cheapness in the manufacture of thesaid tip is thereby obtained, which is of greatimportance. To

lighten the tip when so desired, I cut out the middle at e of the tip.(See Fig. IV.)

In curling or bending over the edges of the tip a further object thanstrength and stiffness is attained, which is that the edges areprevented from cutting through the band of. the neck-wear, into and towhich the said tip is attached in the usual manner, not shown becausenot a part of my invention, which only relates to the construction of ametal tip out of light metal in such a manner that lightness andstrength are obtained without the use of heavier metal.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim- The metal neck-wear tip A, having the sides I) b and ends 00,curled or bent over, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York.
